The Phone Call.

Today I had a call from my sister before I went to work. I love her. She's about five years older than me and I'm becoming very close to her. I'm deathly in love with her two kids too! Anyway, about the phone call. I don't know how every conversation I have with family ends up about weight. This one was different though. She started talking about how she wakes up early and goes for a walk before the heat arrives. How when I go back to school and I visit her, she's going to drag me to exercise with her whether I like it or not. This makes me excited. It's almost like having a personal trainer without having to pay. She called me as I was logging on to my computer to ask why I wasn't home and where I've been. When I told her I had Taco Bell for dinner she was pissed and said if I keep this up I will have to be punished. This is what I really need. It may not seem like it, but she's holding my hand and reminding me what needs to be down. I know I need to be accountable for myself, but I need someone else to be accountable to me for being accountable. I don't know if that made any sense as I read over it, but it makes sense in my head.
So far this summer I've lost 11 pounds. I have 5 more weeks before I go back to school and I want to lose 9-14 more pounds. I want to say I have accomplished something and this is usually around the time I want to give up and regain everything. Nope. Not this time. What I would love even more is to come home Christmas break and everyone have to second look me becoming a woman and starting to look like a normal person!
My sister, now that she is literally going to be on my ass 24/7, is telling me I need to stop having sweets and white grains. This includes no soda, white rice or bread or pasta, etc. I don't know where Oatmeal falls and I forgot to ask her, but there's always tomorrow. She said for right now she doesn't care how much whole grain or brown rice I eat, as long as it's just that. I hate giving stuff up. I feel like I always over do things, but I really need to lose this weight and I feel like she knows what she's talking about and I can trust her. I think without any diets or anything I can maybe lose another 5 before school. If I cut out what my sister wants I could be losing double or triple that, and that would mean the world to me.
It's time to start disciplining myself.
